(ii) implementation of pilot projects to demonstrate mechanisms for scaling up biomass investment projects for bioenergy or food security;
(iii) capacity-building support for project stakeholders; and
(iv) knowledge products and awareness campaign. The mechanisms for scaling up demonstrated under the R-CDTA are expected to lead to ensuing ADBs investment projects in Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam.
